lobed
Having rounded divisions
Lobed describes something divided into rounded, projecting parts.
Oak leaves are lobed, with curved indentations creating distinct sections.
Ears have lobes.
The brain has lobes.
In biology and anatomy, lobed structures appear throughout: lobed fins, lobed leaves, a lobed liver.
The word simply indicates the presence of lobes—rounded projections or divisions.
